Full story

Godwin Emefiele and Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission remain divided over the evidence in his fraud trial. The case concerns an alleged fraudulent $6.23 million withdrawal from the Central Bank of Nigeria and alleged contract corruption. A court heard arguments for and against Emefiele’s application for a no-case submission. Under that procedure, the defence asks the court to end the case because the prosecution has not produced enough evidence to require an answer from the defendant. The EFCC maintains that the evidence supports a trial, while Emefiele’s side disputes its weight and sufficiency. The judge must decide whether the case can proceed beyond the no-case stage. The report does not set out the competing documents or explain a ruling, and it was first published by Premium Times Nigeria.
